Paperback. Condizione: Good. Surviving Cancer offers hope--and a practical strategy--for anyone diagnosed with a solitary tumor. Through these pages, you'll discover that the body can continue to live--and even thrive--while accommodating a localized cancer. More importantly, there are actions you can take to help prevent it from spreading, even if complications arise. This groundbreaking book explains how changes in diet and lifestyle can influence the course of cancer. You'll learn how to starve cancer cells of their fuel source--glucose--and deprive them of the conditions they need to multiply. By following the guidance in Surviving Cancer, you'll be better equipped to slow progression, inhibit metastasis, and support your body's natural defenses. The book's core message is clear: Diet is a powerful tool in the fight against cancer. In particular, avoiding grains can dramatically lower the amount of glucose in your bloodstream. Since cancer cells depend on glucose for survival and rapid growth, reducing grain intake can help weaken them. Elevated blood sugar also triggers insulin production, which promotes cell growth--including cancer cells. For those facing cancer, managing blood sugar and insulin levels may be critical. You'll also gain insights into: The biology of how cancer forms and spreads How cancer cells hijack your metabolism The dangers of environmental toxins and how to reduce exposure The healing role of sleep, exercise, stress reduction, and gut health How common spices and dietary habits may support your recovery This book is ideal for anyone with a localized (non-metastatic) cancer--or those who are genetically predisposed or concerned about cancer risk due to lifestyle, work, or environment. Surviving Cancer is especially valuable for individuals with Type 2 diabetes, with or without a cancer diagnosis. The link between elevated blood sugar and cancer is becoming clearer, and this book offers vital guidance on prevention and long-term health. Whether you're seeking to prevent cancer, stop it from spreading, or simply understand how lifestyle impacts your health, Surviving Cancer delivers hope, science-based insights, and a path forward.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. This definitive, richly illustrated manual covers the essential elements of the philosophy and practice of Aikido, the Japanese martial art that has been embraced by psychologists, spiritual teachers, and even Western bodywork practitioners. Full of insightful wisdom for beginners and experienced students alike, this book details the traditional methods and techniques of Shirata Rinjiro, of whom John Stevens is a principal student. Noted for the precise execution of a wide range of techniques and an emphasis on Aikido as a spiritual path, Shirata Sensei's teachings exemplify the Way of the Warrior: superior technical prowess combined with profound spiritual insight. In addition to photographs and descriptions of all the important Aikido techniques, Stevens recounts interesting and lively anecdotes about the history of Aikido and its founder, Ueshiba Morihei, who developed it from a martial art into a spiritual discipline. A biography of Shirata Sensei, complete with his reflections on sixty years of Aikido practice, is also included. John Stevens lived in Japan for 35 years, where he was a professor of Buddhist studies at Tohoku Fukushi University in Sendai. A widely respected translator, ordained Buddhist priest, curator of several major exhibitions of Zen art, and an aikido instructor, he has authored more than thirty books and is one of the foremost Western experts on aikido, holding a ranking of 7th dan Aikikai.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The doctor suddenly appeared beside Will, startling him. He was sleek and prosperous, with a dainty goatee. Though he smiled reassuringly, the poet noticed that he kept a safe distance. In a soothing, urbane voice, the physician explained the treatment: stewed prunes to evacuate the bowels; succulent meats to ease digestion; cinnabar and the sweating tub to cleanse the disease from the skin. The doctor warned of minor side effects: uncontrolled drooling, fetid breath, bloody gums, shakes and palsies. Yet desperate diseases called for desperate remedies, of course. Were Shakespeare's shaky handwriting, his obsession with venereal disease, and his premature retirement connected? Did John Milton go blind from his propaganda work for the Puritan dictator Oliver Cromwell, as he believed, or did he have a rare and devastating complication of a very common eye problem? Did Jonathan Swift's preoccupation with sex and filth result from a neurological condition that might also explain his late-life surge in creativity? What Victorian plague wiped out the entire Brontë family? What was the cause of Nathaniel Hawthorne's sudden demise? Were Herman Melville's disabling attacks of eye and back pain the product of "nervous affections," as his family and physicians believed, or did he actually have a malady that was unknown to medical science until well after his death? Was Jack London a suicide, or was his death the product of a series of self-induced medical misadventures? Why did W. B. Yeats's doctors dose him with toxic amounts of arsenic? Did James Joyce need several horrific eye operations because of a strange autoimmune disease acquired from a Dublin streetwalker? Did writing Nineteen Eighty-Four actually kill George Orwell? The Bard meets House, M.D. in this fascinating untold story of the impact of disease on the lives and works of some the finest writers in the English language. In Shakespeare's Tremor and Orwell's Cough, John Ross cheerfully debunks old biographical myths and suggests fresh diagnoses for these writers' real-life medical mysteries. The author takes us way back, when leeches were used for bleeding and cupping was a common method of cure, to a time before vaccinations, sterilized scalpels, or real drug regimens. With a healthy dose of gross descriptions and a deep love for the literary output of these ten greats, Ross is the doctor these writers should have had in their time of need.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. After a terrible misjudgment in the delivery room, Dr. John Bruchalski realized that with every pregnant woman he attends, there are two patients--the mother and her unborn child. In addition to this discovery, two remarkable spiritual experiences deepened his understanding of the kind of man he had become and the one he was called to be.Two Patients is the story of how a physician who practiced abortion came to question the medical status quo and to pioneer an approach to reproductive medicine that respects female fertility, honors the dignity of unborn children, and o­ ers care to patients regardless of their financial situation. Such health care, writes Dr. John Bruchalski, is merciful medicine, and his memoir gives a glimpse of just how merciful the relationship between a doctor and his two patients--mother and child-- can be.…
